I am a WCF beginner and is trying out with a basic host service with callbacks to the client.

My code works wonders if my client app is a console.exe but when I transferred the code to a Windows Form app, the application will freeze. But if I right click on the form window task bar, the code suddenly goes through and it would work...

Hello,
I built a WCF Workflow Service App and I built a custom activity that requires an extension in the workflow. In a web app, I'm trying to create a service reference to the WCF workflow service but it says that an extension that is required has not been provided;
so how do I consume a service with a required extension? At what point do I supply that extension in an ASP.NET scenario?
Thanks.

Hello, I'm getting a bunch these messages every two hours in my Windows 2003
application log. The server in question does not have outbound internet
access where by the server is configured as a web server for the WPAsign application.
Message: Failed auto update retrieval of third-party root list sequence
number from:
<http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootseq.txt>
with error: The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.
and when I run the BVT tool form the comand window I am getting unknown error and the output has some partial files but not the whole list expected at succesful sign.
What does this mean?
How can I manually update this?
Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Hi,I have a VS2K8 solution with a web app and a WCF Service App. In my web app I've added the service reference and can get to the service in the service app from code behind:WebTest.ServiceReference1.Service1Client prox = new WebTest.ServiceReference1.Service1Client("WSHttpBinding_IService1"); fromStandAlone.InnerHtml = prox.GetData(9); prox.Close();Can someone post a walkthrough on how to add an AJAX Enabled WCF service to the service app and how to access it from the web app?

Hi I have a web service (asmx).
I want to add a functionality where in I have to do polling for data on a URL. I added a timer and in the timer elapsed event handler I am checking for the data. (Is it a good design? Is there something better than timer for this in ASP.NET?)
But what I observed is that, after some time, if the web service is ideal (no request are sent to the service), the timer event doesn't fire. Is this something by design or I have some configuration issues here. Is it very standard that if web site is ideal then the objects in that site are destroyed? I have few static objects maintaining the state should I not keep them there? Is there any configuration that allowes the service to stay alive dispite of the request sent to it or not?
When web site is ideal, its only the website which goes in ideal state or IIS goes in ideal state? I mean my timer stopped is it because nobody called by web service or its because nobody called the IIS on that machine (any other web service or web application deployed on IIS)?

Hi
Is it possible to have a web Service and Website in the same application.
e.g
The web service would be
mydomain.com/service.asmx
and website
mydomain.com/sameapplication/login.aspx
Both would share the same code for logic and data access
Thank you

I have setup a test SharePoint 2010 Farm. I will be using this as a test upgrade of a current live SharePoint 2007 Farm. The database attach method will be used.
I have replicated the web application and AAM settings of the SharePoint 2007 Farm to the SharePoint 2010 Farm and have made the 2010 Farm a DC in a new Forest. I don't want to join this to the current domain at the moment. It also has SQL server 2005 with
SP3 and cumulative update 3 installed.
I have just setup the User Profiles Serice Application and when I go to Manage it, I get this.
Error
An unexpected error has occurred.
Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.
Correlation ID: a1760e87-372f-4711-afac-3ceba34bc599
Date and Time: 8/31/2010 4:22:56 PM
I have verified and configured the following.
Created the Managed Metadata Service. The status is started via Service Applications and Services on Server.
Created the User Profiles Service Application and ensured status is started via Service Applications. I started the User Profile Service and User Profile Synchronisation Service via Manage Services on Server.

We have Intranet solution based on SharePoint 2010 small farm.
Somehow we don't see Manage services on server under the Service Applications in the central admin. Portal seem to work otherwise fine.
When we opened the page to browser http://servername:14082/_admin/Server.aspx we received error:
Access denied.
We have tried to login with Admin, SP_Farm and SP_Admin user, but access denied every time.
I checked who have Full user rights in the Central admin. It is SP_Admin
Admins of the Sitecollection is SP_admin and Administrator.
Why this happens?Kenny_I

I've encountered a nasty bug in our setup.
Our Search Service Application manages to crawl all content just fine. However, the scopes don't work. We've got a total of 570 items currently in our crawl database. 350 of these are of class 'People', and appear in the 'People' scope. The remaining 220
items should appear in 'All Content' as part of the intra (sites, documents etc), however the 'All Content' scope reports 0 items.
I've tried the following:
-Creating custom scopes (still 0 items)
-Recreating the Search Service Application twice
-Tried different accounts as the content access account.
-Ensuring that the content access accounts do have 'full read policy'
-Checked the crawl log for successful content (such as sites and documents).
However, despite my efforts I still get 0 items for 'All Content'.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, or do you have any recommendation for us? Currently I don't see any other option than to reinstall everything.

Hi all,
i have a problem that hopefully someone has an answer to. i am not too familiar with sharepoint so please excuse my ignorance.
we have sharepoint 2010 on a windows 2008r2 server. everything seems to work fine. but as you know, the default database names are horrendous. i have managed to rename all of them, except for the "search service application" admin
database.
the default is: Search_Service_Application_DB_<guid>
the other 2 databases (crawl and property) were renamed without a problem.
we are following the article from technet on how to rename the search service admin db (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-nz/library/ff851878%28en-us%29.aspx). it says to enter the following command:
$searchapp | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -DatabaseName "new database name" -DatabaseServer "dbserver"
however, i get an error about identity being null. no big deal, i add the -Identity switch and the name of my search service application. but the real problem comes the error it throws:
Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication : The requested database move was aborted as the associated search application is not paused.
At line:1 char:54
+ $searchapp | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication <<<< -Identity "Search Service Application" -DatabaseName "ShareP
